Holding out hope for you Alex!

Nasake I hope you're right bout ovulation! Did you manage to dtd around that second +opk? Fingers crossed for you!

AFM - not much to report. Same old luteal phase symptoms, plus I'm still having round ligament pain. My POTS symptoms are flaring badly tok. I've got a couple new breast cysts also - ouch. Also, our car broke today, for good. We can't afford another, so we're totally up the creek, but somehow I've been super happy and calm today. Like, walking on air? I'm trusting in Divine Providence for the car issue. God's Will be done there. I don't know why I'm so all fired happy though LOL! I decided to poas today, even though I'm only 8dpo, to get it out of my system. I don't want a (possibly false) bfn to bum me out on my birthday, so I'll test on Friday when AF is due. I have only ONE pregnancy test left in the house now. One. O N E. So now I really HAVE to wait for this one. ????

Flamingo thank you girl! How you doing? Did you start opks?

Nasake you’re so sweet! Thank you so much! Did you test again after the last time you posted your tests? I cannot even imagine how frustrating it must be not to know when and if you ovulated! I really hope you caught that egg even if you Oed later. Did you BDed?

E oh girl! I’m so sorry about the car! This would be a nightmare for me. Is your daily transportation close to your house?
At least I’m glad to see that you have this amazing optimistic attitude! This always lead to something good and having only one test is the best thing really! You know you cannot waste it just for a POAS craving lol I also have only one digital at home and I’m keeping it for months like a gold bar I think is gonna expire before I get the chance to use it though

AFM 12DPO and only one day left. On Monday the witch should be here. I had a temp rise this morning (I’ll post my chart) but it must be because I slept very late last night after a carnival event we had in our dance studio! So I had a couple of drinks!
What’s your opinion ladies? While on tww do you allow yourself to drink alcohol and enjoy life or you control yourself just in case? I would love to hear your point of view on this!
Our friend Anna who had the previous boards asked this once but I was so long ago, most of ladies are not here anymore so I’d like to see some fresh opinions!

I thought I might have IB, but AF came early. I'm out again.

Alex during each cycle I still let myself enjoy everything. If I wanted a drink I would have one. At that early of a point the baby isn’t connected fully so it shouldn’t be a problem. Once I got my positive is when I stopped. You can’t limit yourself too much or it will be torture. As you know, it can take a long time to conceive so you can’t just deny yourself of the things you enjoy completely. Now I wouldn’t get drunk or anything but I would enjoy a glass of wine or two!!

Big jump on my bbt chart today! I scrolled back through my last few charted cycles on ovuview and I've never seen a bbt this high. I'm not sick (as far as I am aware) and the temp seems to be trending up....

Had to stay home from Church this morning, (Husband was able to use his work truck, but it's a single cab, so no room for a car seat etc.) so I'm feeling a little more bummed about the car today, but still trusting in God to look after us. Honestly it won't be that big of an issue during the week, because as I am still a learner driver I can't go anywhere on my own anyway. Weekends are an issue though obviously, and I can't learn how to drive with no car! Public transport is pretty good around here. Takes forever to get anywhere but I can go wherever I need to generally.

On the bright side, I woke up to my Mum having PayPal'd me some birthday money! I'm torn between clothes or a manicure.... Hmmm

Cramps got me really bad and went to the bathroom to check if AF is here.. I checked cm and I had very little pink cm. I think she’s coming 2 days sooner so so sad.... I really want to just stay home cry and eat....

Aww I'm so sorry Alex. Sending lots of virtual hugs, chocolate and wine.

@E high bbt is good news.

Fingers crossed everyone.

AFM not much. AF has finally stopped. Praying, meditating to be stressed free. Have blood tests on Wednesday. Waiting for hcg trigger shots order. Cd6 today.

Cycle day one and I’m heading in a dancing photo shoot.. bloated like a balloon, very very sad and moody, aching and cramping in my whole body and with no motivation at all... but have to be a professional.. yay for me

I tested yesterday morning and it was negative. We BD'd around second time I got positive OPK, so thats great at least. I'm CD40 and just waiting, have had some cramping past days but not like usual cramps before AF, so I've got no idea what's going on. When I ovulated that second positive OPK time, I should be 7DPO, from first positive OPK 22DPO. My fertility dr appointment is on Friday, so I'll see will my period decide to come before that or not. Just so tired of that long ass cycle and having my hopes up, and losing that hope and uuugh...

We don't drink alcohol often, but if I would want to drink while TWW I would do it. Can't completely go crazy around TTC when It's taking longer than usual. But If I catch BFP, then after that, not a single drop for me, wouldn't feel comfortable with it.

Alex hugs to you. Stay strong girl

@Nasake gentle alcohol like wine is not that bad in moderation. I would have a bit while ttc too except when I take fertility meds. Fingers crossed you will know soon.

@Alex stay strong. Don t give up. Praying for you.

AFM CD7 no more spotting. Had strong cramps today. Last dosage of Femara was 1hr ago. Hopefully we won't missed my Ovulation. Have not heard yet from trigger shots order.
